The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the game board and get them off the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use different tactics in the differing stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of advancing your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to stop your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. After you have created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips swiftly from the board. The player really should also have a good strategy when to extract and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
